Description

If you are installing the iProcess Engine in an Active Directory environment, you must disable Oracle authentication services. If you do not do this, the following error occurs when it attempts to connect to the Oracle database:

TNS-12638 Credential retrieval failed

Note	If you are not using Active Directory you do not need to do this.

Procedure

To disable authentication services, set the following parameter in the Oracle sqlnet.ora configuration file:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=none

Note	By default, the `sqlnet.ora` file is located in the `ORACLE_HOME\network\admin` directory, or in the directory specified by the `TNS_ADMIN` environment variable.
